Encyclopedia > Mono Puff

Mono Puff was a New York City band and a side project of John Flansburgh, one-half of the musical duo They Might Be Giants.


The main band consisted of Flansburgh, the vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, and songwriter; bassist Hal Cragin; and drummer Steve Calhoon of Skeleton Key. Various guest musicians supplemented the trio, notably Mark Feldman, Yuval Gabay, Ghost Krabb, Sugar Puff, Elina Löwensohn, Robin Goldwasser, Ammonia D, Trini Lopez, Jay Sherman-Godfrey, Jim O'Connor, Phil Hernandez, Frank London, Eric Schermerhorn, and Mike Viola.


As of 2004, Mono Puff appears to be finished or on hiatus, due to Cragin's moving away from the New York area.

Mono Puff - TMBW: The They Might Be Giants Knowledge Base (280 words)
Mono Puff is one of John Flansburgh's side projects.
Mono Puff's primary obstacle is the fact that founding member Hal Cragin lives on the west coast.
Flansburgh explains where the name "Mono Puff" came from in a 1997 interview with The Tech, "The name comes from an experience I had at the John Coltrane Church in San Francisco.
Bar/None Records: Mono Puff (974 words)
Besides Flansburgh's working as a musician with Mono Puff and They Might Be Giants, Flansburgh has found something of a second career for himself as a rock video director: "I was looking for a job that would sound more unlikely and dubious than "I'm in a band," and "I'm a video director" wins hands down.
It's Fun to Steal, the second full-length disc from Mono Puff, is as velvety smooth as a Dove ice cream bar mixed with the mischievous crunch of an Eskimo pie.
Unlike Mono Puff's debut, Unsupervised, which grew out of Flansburgh's solo musings, this is a saga of a band at work and play.
